Skript zur Vorlesung

Students should be familiar with the energy industry context of the energy market and understand basic technical, Business Studies, legal and regulatory contexts. Students should be familiar with the status quo for all stages of the value chain (generation, grids, trading and sales) and be able to discuss possible developments with their advantages and disadvantages. They should be familiar with and be able to evaluate the key issues of the energy transition. Among other things, they should be able to economically evaluate simple investments in the energy sector and understand and apply the framework conditions of the energy market. Furthermore, they should be able to independently develop and evaluate energy industry issues.

Economy, ecology and security of supply describe the target triangle of the energy industry. Together, these are  the criteria that energy systems must - at a minimum - fulfill today  Recently, a social component has apparently been added. What the status quo of the energy market looks like in relation to all stages of the value chain, i.e. decentralized/centralized generation, grids (electricity, gas, heat, H2, ...), trading and sales, what advantages and disadvantages there are in the respective future and current forms and how the respective stages of the value chain will change, will be presented and discussed in the course. The subject shows the framework conditions for the energy transition, i.e. a climate gas-neutral energy supply, across all stages of the value chain and in the context of European and international developments. Current developments (e.g. the current energy price brakes) are repeatedly examined and their implications for the energy transition are considered, as well as developments in other areas such as politics (Russia), digitalization (e.g. intelligent measuring systems, iMSys), business administration, economics and law with their effects on an energy system. Particular emphasis is placed on highlighting many practical references, some of which go beyond the energy industry context, e.g. project management, leadership behavior, SAP.

The theoretical specialist and methodological knowledge is presented, explained and discussed in the lecture. In exercises, the methodological knowledge imparted is applied and deepened using practical examples.
The lecture notes will be made available for download on the internet.

- Knowledge of the basic concepts and classifications of simulations
- Knowledge of the procedure for simulation studies
- Overview of the different types of simulation methods and their differentiation
- Evaluate the applicability of simulation methods for the respective task

The lecture Building Simulation introduces the methods of simulation technology. The thematic focus is on the investigation of energy-related issues in buildings. Particular emphasis is placed on the structured approach to simulation tasks. Based on a classification of simulation types, the procedure for selecting and creating suitable simulation models, carrying out simulations and evaluating the results are discussed. Different types of simulation methods are presented. These cover in particular the area of computer-aided tools. Insights are given into the mathematical modeling of the simulation tools. However, neither the lecture nor the exercise will deal with the programming implementation of the models (programming knowledge is therefore not necessary). The aim is rather to learn a structured approach to simulation and, knowing the strengths and weaknesses of the various tools, to select the most suitable one for the specific task and to be able to interpret its results correctly. Using the example of the heat balance of buildings, the procedure as well as the evaluation and interpretation of the results are deepened in the context of lectures and accompanying exercises on the computer.

The lecture provides an overview of terms, fundamentals and various methods of building simulation. In the exercises, these basic concepts are first deepened. Subsequently, based on an example building, calculations of the energy demand are carried out and compared using various methods (analytical calculation, static simulation, dynamic simulation).

The practical semester is intended to introduce students to the professional activities of an engineer through specific tasks and engineering-related work in companies, businesses or other institutions in the professional field. In particular, it should serve to apply the knowledge and skills acquired during the course and to reflect on and evaluate the experience gained during the practical work.

The module aims to train and consolidate students' decision-making skills by:
- Expanding application-related knowledge using practical examples;
- Creation of in-service documentation;
- Deepening presentation techniques.

In the practical semester, the student is familiarized with engineering working methods through a task appropriate to their level of training. After an appropriate introduction, he or she should work on this task independently, alone or in a group, under professional guidance.

The following areas of activity may be considered in particular: project planning, planning, parameterization, service and counseling, design, development, production, manufacturing, testing, operation and support of infrastructure, power plant and grid operation, energy sales and trading, energy management, assembly, maintenance, business and time management, sales, information technology, IT, quality management, safety management and operational research.
The practical semester is usually completed in the sixth semester and covers a continuous period of at least 20 weeks.
In the engineering field of work, a challenging project from all areas of electrical engineering is used to teach the approach and problem-solving strategies of an engineer when solving tasks. Students can thus gain insight into the connections between practical training and studies and link the newly acquired knowledge with the course content.

In a written report and a presentation followed by a discussion, each student presents themselves, the practical placement and their work. The preparation of this presentation trains the ability to give written and oral reports and to evaluate and delineate tasks and results. In addition to their own presentation, students must listen to a set number of presentations by fellow students as part of the practical seminar. This also provides insights into other fields of activity and broadens the horizon of experience beyond their own practical semester.
